STI Product Deliverables
In our many years of experience we have found that most researchers request the
same group of variables for use in their analysis. So we made a decision early
on to sell our data in predefined bundles. This allows us to keep our
production costs low and pass the savings on to the customer.
Bottom-line the customer gets more data (more value) for his research
dollar.
Due to the volume of data being sold in a bundle, we designed a unique program
that archives and retrieves the data based on a series of prompts to the user.
The program is MS Windows based and requires only a CD-ROM drive. There is no
installation procedure for the program, because it is entirely self-contained.
Geographies
The data in all STI products is keyed to US Census 2000 geographies. If you use
geographies based on US Census data prior to 2000, you will need to update those
geographies as well. Synergos Technologies offers those geographies in
MapInfo® format at a very reasonable rate. Geographies for ESRI products
can be obtained for free from ESRI directly.
